Student Government Association

The purpose of the Student Government Association is to represent and further the interests of the student body and the College and to facilitate communications among administration, faculty, and students. Members of the Student Government Association serve on several committees of the College and present ideas and suggestions from the students’ perspective through these committee assignments. The association also distributes part of the Student Activity Fee to clubs and organizations on campus and participates in many community service projects.

The role of students in the decision-making process is advisory and recommendatory. The Student Government Association is the primary organization for soliciting, formulating, and presenting student proposals. Additionally, students serve on several College committees, and student opinion is obtained through various surveys, focus groups, and interviews.

Student Engagement

The College sponsors various programs designed to engage students in their community, enhancing the academic programs through social, recreational, and cultural activities and events. Learning occurs inside and outside the classroom, and the Division of Student Affairs intentionally builds programming built on leadership, self-awareness, advocacy, and develops students as contributing citizens.  All students are encouraged to participate in approved campus activities and organizations so that such involvement does not detract from their academic responsibilities.

Milestone and traditional events include Welcome Week, De-stress Days, Founders Day, and Harry Potter Week. Students enjoy concerts, lectures, dances, movies, poolside parties, and beach days. The Ringhaver Student Center provides areas for student interaction outside of the classroom. In addition to spending time in any of the three lounges or grabbing a bite to eat, Student Leadership and Engagement, Campus Recreation, and the Student Government Association offer social, recreational, and cultural events throughout the year. The Commons Building at the FEC-Complex also provides areas for student interaction outside the classroom. The Commons Building includes a fitness/wellness area, a television lounge, group study rooms, a hospitality room, and a convenience store.

The College promotes interest in the arts through the art and drama instruction program. College drama productions and art exhibits in the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum add to the cultural atmosphere of the institution and provide many opportunities for student participation. The Lewis Auditorium serves as a theatre for College drama productions and is used for fine arts productions, cultural events, lectures, and various student activities.

Because of its traditional interest in art and theatre, St. Augustine provides a rich supplement to the programs presented by students and faculty. Students are encouraged to participate in various community-sponsored activities and to attend plays, lectures, and concerts offered by outside groups and organizations.

Email is the official form of communication on campus; however, other methods are also available. Signs, postings, Saints Connect (online events listing), and video feeds to monitors in various buildings are often used to announce different events, athletic activities, club meetings, social activities, and pertinent academic information and deadlines.

Campus Assessment, Referral, and Evaluation (CARE) Team

The Campus Assessment, Referral, and Evaluation (CARE) Team exists as a proactive, multi-disciplinary program in support of the safety, health, and well-being of all students and the college as a whole. Its goal is to provide a structured, positive method for addressing student behaviors that may adversely impact the college community and the mission of the College and may involve mental health and/or safety issues. The CARE Team consists of a group of qualified college professionals who are likely to become involved with and/or receive information pertaining to a student of concern.

The CARE Team provides a means by which members of the college community may report concerns related to the above. The CARE Team may then assess the risk associated with these concerns and, in cooperation with other appropriate college offices or officials, formulate an appropriate response when an individual’s behavior and/or statements generate concern that the individual may present a threat to the well-being, health, or safety of self or others.

Concerns may be reported to the CARE Team by any student, parent, faculty, or staff member of the College and by others not directly associated with the College. The most common method of reporting is done via the college website options, including www.flagler.edu/CARE and the CARE Team “Quick Link” on the MyFlagler Portal site and our reporting page: www.flagler.edu/reporting.

The types of concerns that should be reported include, but are not limited to: behaviors or threats (direct or implied) that may entail risk of harm to self or others; erratic or disruptive behavior (including online activities); the belief that a student’s emotional well-being is deteriorating or at significant risk; hospitalization; and substance abuse resulting in the need for medical intervention. Any person who believes that a member of the college community or a visitor is going to commit an act of violence is engaging in the behavior or making statements that indicate the high likelihood of violent behavior or otherwise may pose an imminent threat to the health or safety of self or any member of the college community or its visitors, should immediately call the St. Augustine Police Department by dialing 911, and the Office of Safety and Security at (904) 819-6200.

After a CARE submission is reviewed, the response will vary depending on the type of concern reported. This may range from an e-mail and/or phone contact offering assistance for a student representing a lower level of risk to an immediate/mandatory appointment with a student representing potentially high risk. Students judged to be potentially at risk will be instructed to undergo an assessment. Following the initial meeting, students may request to be assessed by an outside agency, with findings provided back to the CARE Team.

After the assessment, the CARE Team will make a determination that takes into consideration the student’s best interest, as well as the best interest of the college community. Possible outcomes include, but are not limited to, appropriate treatment; referral to an additional campus resource; accommodations, reduction in access to courses and/or facilities; and withdrawal from the College.

In determining an appropriate outcome, the College will consider whether there is a reasonable way to accommodate the student to decrease the safety risk to the student or others and/or to ensure compliance with college policies. The decision rendered by the team will be made in a nondiscriminatory manner based on the observation of a student’s conduct, actions, and statements and will not be based on a slightly increased, speculative, or remote risk of substantial harm to oneself or others. Students who fail to comply with an assessment requirement may be referred to the Vice President of Student Affairs for action.

Retaliating against a person who has made a report to the CARE Team in good faith or has participated in an investigation is prohibited. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to: ostracizing the person, pressuring the person not to participate in an investigation, or taking other adverse action against the person. An individual who engages in retaliation under this policy will be subject to discipline in accordance with the College’s personnel, faculty, or student life policies, as applicable.

Additional information about the Campus Assessment, Referral, and Evaluation (CARE) Team, reasons to make a referral, and the link to report a concern about a student may be found at www.flagler.edu/CARE.

Case Management, Education and Outreach

The office of Case Management & Outreach and Education serves as an advocate and case manager for all students, assisting in the resolution of student issues and concerns and addressing the needs of students having problems in areas such as academics, mental or emotional health, psychological, economic, conduct, family, relationships and social adjustments through a variety of interventions, referrals and follow up services. 

Educational Initiatives

Health and Wellness seeks to cultivate an environment that is comfortable and encourages students to seek help before they are at a crisis stage.  Utilizing a proactive vs. reactive model, there will be a focus on prevention education and treatment.  We work collaboratively with our on-campus and community partners to offer comprehensive health and wellness resources for our Flagler College community.
